Try the following

# rm -f /var/lock/subsys/proftpd
# service proftpd start

Also double check your /var/log/messages file

Constantly [bump]-ing is not going to do you much good. DA users who might know the answer aren't going to help you faster because of it.

I don't know if the file already exists? If so you might remove it and try again. If removing isn't possible perhaps some other process is already doing something with the file and you'd have to find out which one and kill the process.

# kill -9 proftpd
# rm -f /var/lock/subsys/proftpd
# rm -f /var/run/proftpd/proftpd.pid
# service proftpd start

If you want to reinstall

# rpm -q proftpd
take a note of the version number

remove your current ftp rpms (there should be a few)

Then get fresh rpms over at: http://files.directadmin.com/services/7.3/
